		Large trees are available on Woleai, a neighboring atoll 150 nautical miles west of Lamotrek, but arranging for purchase of a suitable tree poses another problem.
		With the modernization of outer island economies the purchase of property and goods has become dominated by a monetary exchange system rather than the traditional barter exchange system that was in place twenty-five years ago.
		As a result, the cost to purchase a tree from Woleai and to pay the workers to shape it for transport to Lamotrek is estimated at $800.
